Ok well my pup is lv 67 and i am getting tired of seeking every day with out a invite. I am also getting tired of melee ( i was never crazy about melee DD always liked magic). My dilemma is do i take pup to 75 or do i quit and play smn.

I love pet class jobs, and magic.
The other thing is i am not Crazy about main healing, backup is fine but i do hate main healing.

Also i was a smn on this server about 6 months ago named Djmodel which i was lv 70. I loved the job but had to quit because of other half issues.

Do i want to take the plunge as smn lv 1-75 or do i stick with pup.

I invested so much money in pup prob about 2 mill in attachments + armor so at least 4 mill in gear.
 
As much as I hate to say it, i'd say take pup the rest of the way. That way you can do alot more stuff independantly.

Also...smn's now days are 80% of the time main heal i'd say. So maybe try bst if your not into that.
 
I would say, put pup aside first till SE decided to fix them while you lvl your SMN. You could always play your pup when you are bored with main healing on SMN >.>.... Yea, lvl both..

Don't level either job in that case.
 
what you should do, is keep you seek flag up, but solo in the meantime^^

sure its boring, but you can have some fun while soloing(cant you?) lol
 
i'd say stick with pup too since you're so close to 75. low lvl parties frighten me.
 
Stick with PUP until you get 75 in my opinion since you are so close. Can always solo which is decent experience and do various events like ENMs, Besieged and even Assaults for minor amounts of experience. If you use PUP for farming, you can even solo EP for small amounts and get gil at the same time (that's what I did on thief). The only problem I found with PUP was it's lack of placement in end game, it does nothing extremely well and the gear is all mage oriented for a job that has no magic nor MP. The only decent pieces are from Salvage which I believe PUPs do fairly well in because they have pets and hand-to-hand skill so at least there is something to look forward to.
 
How far are you in CoP? I ask because as long as you are at or past Sacrarium then you have access to the easiest weekly XP scroll quest possible. You have to do Spice Gals once first (which if you have a duo buddy to help you farm a scale or if you wanna just solo one on your own you can also do weekly for another xp scroll), but after you've done it once, you'll be able to do Secrets of Ovens Lost every week, which you can easily solo in the span of about 10-15 minutes. It's only 750-1500 xp per week, but it still speeds up the xping process. I'm xping my BST right now and every week I try to do the following:

Chocobo Riding from Sandy to Windy
Secrets of Ovens Lost
Escort in Eldieme Necropolis

That's 2250-4500 free xp per week for your job. You can also tack on Spice Gals again for another scroll. There's a nice 5th option too that you can do at the same time as Spice Gals but I don't think you can do it at your level.

Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that between things like the above scroll quests and Besieged, you can easily rack up a lot of xp on a job even without actually joining xp pts.

Consider also the Pulling the Strings solo ENM, it's very solo friendly and also appropriate, given your job ^^
 
i am quiting pup. I decided i will lv smn instead. At least i can use pup for farming and Nms. The good news is on Genbu at lv 67 while the rest of the ls was 75+ merits i was able to pull off 8.63% with just my auto
 
Remember the time when smns were considered crappy? It usually takes a while for a job to be discovered by people who don't have it lvled. You should play what you like and not what people want you as, otherwise game would get boring and you wouldn't even make it to 75.
 
Yea, don't put PUP sideline yet, just take a break from it.. Especially SE been fixing the job.. gradually that is..
 
well its to late, i sold all of my gear. 1.6 mill worth

if Se updates the job and i like what they did i will play pup again

Don't forget ENMs. All of them kick out EXP besides just Pulling The Strings, and some decent cash if you get rare drops. A few of them don't even require complete parties.

Sharpshot could be pretty decent for Like The Wind(uncapped, so only useful when in the mid-70s). PUP itself is good for Bugard in the Clouds because of the mobs ability to become immune to either physical, magic, or ranged damage. Both only require three people to enter. And don't forget, no exp loss from dying!

Unfortunately I'd have to agree with Icewolf :P

Take PUP the rest of the way to 75 so you don't need as much help on your SMN AF ect
